KUALA LUMPUR, April 6 (Bernama) -- Jumio, an AI-powered end-to-end identity verification and eKYC solutions provider is collaborating with Microsoft for the rollout of Azure Active Directory (Active AD) verifiable credentials.

According to a statement, the collaboration helps provide self-service enrolment and fast onboarding of remote users.

Collaborating with companies, including Jumio, will enable organisations to verify a wide variety of attributes, such as ID documents and electronic data, while giving individuals more control over who has access to their information.

Verifiable credentials let organisations confirm information about someone (such as education and professional certifications) without collecting and storing their personal data.

Organisations will be able to issue digital versions of a variety of credentials such as physical badges, loyalty cards and government-issued paper documents based on open standards.

Because the digital information is verified by Jumio, it’s more trustworthy, and the verification process will only take seconds.

Once verified, these credentials can be used to prove an identity across different organisations to accelerate onboarding of users, secure access to apps or enable a more trustworthy credential recovery experience.

“We are delighted to collaborate with Microsoft in defining the future of digital identity and to be part of Microsoft’s verified identity solution, enabling modern enterprises to add a critical layer of trust with decentralised and reusable digital identity,” said Jumio chief executive officer, Robert Prigge.
